Root static files example

How to use

Using create-next-app

Execute create-next-app with Yarn or npx to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example root-static-files root-static-files-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example root-static-files root-static-files-app

Download manually

Download the example:

curl https://codeload.github.com/zeit/next.js/tar.gz/canary | tar -xz --strip=2 next.js-canary/examples/root-static-files
cd root-static-files

Install it and run:

npm install
npm run dev
# or
yarn
yarn dev

Serverless

With now version 2, using a custom server to route files from the static folder is no longer necessary.

Simply adjust your now.json (similar to in this example) by using the routes configuration.

Afterwards, deploy it to the cloud with now (download)

The idea behind the example

This example demonstrates how to serve files such as /robots.txt and /sitemap.xml from the root in both a serverless and non-serverless environment.
